New York sun.


The poets of Asia have sung for centu-
ries of the beanty and fruitfulness of the
Zarafchan valley. The fact that the en-
virons of Samarcand, Box hara and Kin
Va are among the most fertile IN the
world, has counted little in their dcvel-
Opment, for almost pathless deserts sep
arate them from the lands that would
gladly buy their produce. Steam cars,
however, have come at last to supersede
the costly camel caravans that, since the
Car Overpowered the khanates, have
often been sent to the Russian frontier.
When il was announced a few weeks
ago that the Trans-Caspian Railroad had
reached the Amu-DaIia at Chardjui, the
telegraph from Khiva and Bokhara at
once reported that caravans were loading
with silks, leather, furs, carpets and
wool, which they would take To Chard jul
en- route foi Europe. Mr.. Lansdell told
us two years ago that Central Asia cotton
was OF fine quality. and could be raised
in enormous quantities. Ii now appears
that rs soon AS 1t WAS positively known
that the railroad would be- advanced To-
the ANU Daria. the planting of cotton in
Bokhara was very sensibly augmented.
Thus she pulse beats of western com
merce are beginning to he felt in the re-
moter regions of the Mohammedan
world, revIvIfying countries long dor
mant that in the age of Alexander the
Great were the seat of an advanced and
powerful civilization.
The ruins still exist of those great
canals that centuries ago led the waters
of the Murghab throughout the Merv
oasis, fertiliZing the soil and fitting it to
be the abiding place of a large and flour
ishing population. Since the railroad
reached Merv the Turkomans have begun
the work of cleaning out and restoring
these old works of irrigation, and the
day is rapidly coming when ancient
Merv will lose the sad and arid aspect
that now predominates in all its borders.
The railroad that Gen. AnnenkoH pushed
forward through the pillows of sand and
treeless desert, will lie the means of
restoring to Merv the verdure and fertil
ity she once possessed.
The history of this railroad enterprise,
which rs kindling the spirit of the west
ern world amid the ruins of a dead civil
lization of the far east. is destined to
make one of the most interesting and ro-
mantle chapters in the story of modern
progress.

The Latest Thing In Swells-

The dude is dead and with him has de
parted from the manners of the town the era
OF vacuous and owlish gravity. He was q
surly, sullen and inert protest against loud
ness and displays; but he's dead and out Of
fashion, and men are hurrying to exploit the
very things he most abhorred. Now the howl
ing swell, with dash of the old time fop il
in vogue. BY day he wears showily embroi
dered silk and satin waistcoats, with over
CATERS, brilliantly hued scarfs, gsudy gloves,
horsey shirts flowing trousers and clothes
of many shades. At night his shirt front is
figured and frilled; he sports gold buttons on
his waistcoat, satin stripes on his trousers,
and adds dash Of color TO it all by thrust
ing a bright crimson, yellow or blue hand
kerchief into his breast. Now has he the man
ners of the solemn ape of q year or more ago
He hobs along at a lively gait and grins
hilarious greetings TO his friends. He's cheap
and onerous at times, and hence men feel for
him momentary spasms Of dislike; but he's
better than the dude, for after looking at the
dude q man was apt to hate himself. -Wssh

AnOTher Railroad

An association of gentlemen with
has been formed for the construction of
the Palatka, Welaka and Spring Grove
Railroad. A full explanation OF the
proposed route and the details Of the
plan is given in another place. and the
parties interested will begin work imme-
diately. 1t will run through one Of the
richest sections Of the State-One already
filled with a thriving population and
closely set with bearing groves and pro-
fitable farms. 1t will bring into close
business relations wit b our city a popu-
laticn Al numerous as that reached by the
White Road, and country not inferior
to that of the Halifax in beauty and va
riety Of picturesque features. The thriv~
ing villages along the line are already
numerous and others will grow with all
the push and vigor characterizing so
many points on the Florida Southern.
1t will also complete the encircling line
which makes the richest sections of the
State look naturally to Palatka as a com
mercial center.
Besides these features Of special inter
est to our city and the land owners
along the line, there are other considera-
tions important to our visitors. just
back of Welaka are the finest medicinal
springs IN the State. Here every sum-
mer throng visitors with all manner of
camping outfits who seek, without
money and without price, the hesling
waters gushing in abundance from the
soil. From the high ridges covered with
giant pines, these five springs send their
cOmmingled stream to the st. Johns.
Each is different in properties, and they
have already been analysed and pro-
nOunced rich in medicinal qualities. The
road will also pass Immediately by the
celebrated Salt Spring, where waters salt
as those of the ocean arise I'm great vol
ume from masses of living rock. And a
few miles further on, at Spring Grove,
will be found a rush of waters large as a
river and transparent as those of the fla
nous Silver Spring at the head Of the
Ocklawaha. Thence the road passes on
through the forests of Jupiter Greek to
connect with the st. Johns and Lake
EustIs Railroad.
This line, with its connections to
Georgetown and Citra, will give Palatka
u new boom, and it's construction may
be confidently expected within short
time. Nor let us hare se1rerdge.

The Senat Question.

GAINESVILLE. FLA, Feb. ii have
just read the communication from Pen
sacola which appeared in the Times
Union of the 12th inst, headed Perry

The views Of the writer being those
which | entertain in regard to Governor
Perry, | must beg of you the space in
your paper for a few lines from me.
As member of the Democratic State
Convention in 1884. l opposed the nomi-
nation of Governor Perry; and although
| voted for him at the election following
| did not support him with that degree
of enthusiasm that | would have given
to others whom | desired for the posi-
ton, but, having been critical observer
of his gubernatorial career, | now not
only feel disposed to- endorse his admin
IstratiOn, but to express the confidence
now entertain of his integrity, his devo-
ton To the interest Of Florida, and his
ability.
Among the number of distinguished
gentlemen whose names have been men
toned to succeed the Hon. e.. w. Jones
las United States Senator, there is no one
in my judgment who IL the superior of
Gov. Perry intellectually. Gov. Perry
may not be ''sIlvertongued orator.;
he may not he graceful political hand
shaker. but he possesses qualities far
more admirable for a United States SEN
ator than those, he possesses sincerity,
Judgment and firmness. His mo"
means mo, and his Eyes" means Eyes.
Not SO with all who have been and are
now politicians i'm Florida.
am not disposed To say aught against
Bloxham, Pasco or any other whose
names are before the people of Florida,
but desire, for one who is thoroughly
identified with the State IN interest, and
in feeling, to say that L Am convinced
that We have no man in the State who
would represent her more faithfully or
more intelligently in the Senate of the
United States than Edward A. Perry.
tie has proven true in war and IN peace:
he has been faithful to- every trust i'm
posed upon him he is dignified, manly,
courteous, brave and intellectual his
moiesty will prevent him from entering
into any political scramble or combina-
ton. l therefore suggest that those W no
are his friends will unite with me in
urging his election. In doing 50 L feel
that We will be rendering a great service
to the State of Florida.

\ Sis ny Baby's Grave in Denmark

Copenhagen Letter.
There il a little unadOrned grave out
in the West Cemetery that il marked 10y
neither cross nor stone. Around il stood
about year ago queer band of dusky
savages, while a chIld's coffin was low
cred into its depths. The men wore
eagle feathers in their tangled hair, and
though wrapped in thick led blankets,
shivered in the wintry blast of the Jan
uary day. The tallest of the mourners
was Black Horse, a Sioux chief of the
band of Indians then in the city, and
beside him stood his squaw, White Bell.
The harsh winter cold had killed their
child, Okcsa or Black Eye, pretty LIT
tie girl. White Bell has returned to her
native plains since then, but the chief II
still here. The other day the London
steamer brought a box that had come the
long way from the setting sun To Black
Horse. In it was a wreath of dry and
withered prairie grass, bound together
with strips of red leather. The follow
ing was written in English on "A card
that was attached: "For Okesa's grav.
in the far East-from her mother and
the unknown friends beyond the sea. !"
The wreath was laid on the child'e
grave, and the snow and bitter wind ar.
playing with the withered leaves from
the great American plains.
